Deep ruby. Strawberry leaf, blackcurrant, smoke, dried violets and something herbal like rosemary on the nose.
Palate is incredibly rich and generous: blackberry, morello cherry, dried redcurrants, cedar, tobacco leaf, more smoke, mocha, dried herbs. The finish is persistent.
This is a real testament to what Pinotage can be, which is a grape that I can be reticent to by default when scanning shelves. But I love to be proven wrong to expand my palate, learning, and love of wine.
£38, 94 points.

Good find. Something I typically pass, pinotage
One of my favourite midrange SA Pinotage. Quite spicy, though!
Thanks for the notes – I love their Kadette as a slightly cheaper option but this sounds delicious.
